Cutting Head And Blade - National PANTHER 5110 Instruction Manual

5110 CUTTING HEAD & BLADES
DIALING IN THE MACHINE
Dialing in the machine is matching the correct cutting head, blade size, blade angle and added weight to
the machine to make the material removal as easy as possible. For every material being removed, there
is an optimum blade width, thickness, sharpness, angle and bevel (bevel up or bevel down).
SAVING TIME WITH EXTRA CUTTING HEADS
The machine is supplied with one cutting head. Having additional cutting heads will save time on the job.
Insert blades into the extra cutting heads before starting a job. When the blade is dull, instead of taking
the time to replace it or sharpen it on the job, take out the cutting head and replace it with another. Or
when a different type or size of blade is needed, you have them ready to use.
ADJUSTING SLIDE PLATE AND CUTTING HEAD (FIGURE A & B)
Caution: Pinch point. When adjusting slide plate, keep feet and hands out from underneath the cutting
head and slide plate. Failure to do so could cause severe bodily injury. When bolts are removed from the
slide plate, the cutting head and the slide plate will drop down to the floor.
• Loosen the two bolts on the front of the slide plate with a 3/4'' wrench (See Figure C).
• Slide plate up or down to achieve the desired height of the cutting head.
• Firmly retighten both bolts.
SHEAR POINT
The shear point is the point where material to be removed will cut cleanly from the floor. If the blade is too
wide or too dull, the shear point is lost.
Low Setting: Slide plate 1/2'' to 2'' off the floor.
The lower the better. This is for normal to difficult
removal.
